— Product name (e.g. “Navaratri- Trisatinama Pooja for Lalita”)

— Product description: This shows up in product’s full page. The space for Product description is right below the Product name. For Navaratri, we have used the product name itself for both Product description and Product short description.

— Product Data — Simple Product — Regular Price. This is where you mention the price without dollar sign. Ignore Sale Price.

— Product Short Description — This shows up in both product’s full page as well as in multiple-products page such as /Navaratri. (For Navaratri products, we have used the product name itself for both Product description and Product short description.)

— Product Image — This is in the right bar in the same editing page – adjacent to Product Short Description. If an image already exists, remove product image and then set an image file. You may select an image file from the media library or upload a file from local PC. Please select an image in almost a square in shape such as 300 x 300 or 400 x 400 or 500 x 500. If the image is not a square, some parts may not show up in thumbnails. For new products, select “set product image” and proceed to select an image file.

— Product Categories — Scroll up on the right side bar – above the Product Image. Select a category such as Navaratri. If you don’t select a Category, the product will not show up in multiple-products page, such as “Navaratri”.

Now, “Publish” or “Update”!
